How much is one implant supposed to move to the side before it is considered lateral displacement? (Photo)

Asked By:Nelly97 in New York, New York

I got breast implants about 1 year ago and wondered how much one implant is supposed to move the side before it is considered lateral displacement. I have spoken to my doctor about this and have an upcoming appointment, however, I would really like some input regarding if this could become an issue long-term with the implant moving further to the side if I do not have the pocket secured.
